Heal was a fillin for the Spurs when almost every PG on their roster got injured before the start of the season. He had like 1 decent game and ended up being with the team for only a few weeks.
Willie Farley is too short to play SG in the NBA. His ball handling isn't good enough to play PG and his outside shooting is streaky. He is a fantastic player in the NBL, but his game isn't particularly suited to the NBA, let alone all NBL clubs as seen by his time with the Pigs.
Reggie Miller on the other hand is 6'7" and reasonably tall for a SG. However players in Reggie's mould (Rip Hamilton), SG's that spend a lot of time running off screens are somewhat advantaged by having a slighter frame.
If I remember correctly Brett Brown (ex-Sydney coach) was on the coaching staff (still is, maybe?) with the Spurs - that's why Heal, and Gaze both got roster shots as the team's 3 pt shooter. Gaze in memory played a few games but in the playoff run didn't make the 12, whereas Heal got cut when Tony Parker came back from injury.
